A couple of days back I said that I'm ok pushing these drivers. Although they don't have "arch/ia64" or "include/asm-ia64" prefixes, they are only used by ia64. I'm even ok with the qla1280.c change as the final version is only touching code inside #ifdef CONFIG_IA64_{GENERIC|SN2) ... but I would like to see a sign-off from the de-facto maintainer Christoph for this file. This is not a land-grab to expand my responsibilities, it just seems to be the right thing to do to coordinate getting all these interdependent pieces into the tree at the same time. However ... there's a thread on LKML wailing about huge changes going into "-rc" releases. Since there still seems to be a lively discussion about the the right way to do the pci_root bits of this patch, I'm very inclined to save this till *after* Linus release 2.6.9-final. If there's a _mostly_ clean patch presented to me before 2.6.10-rc1 shows up, I'll push that and allow for some follow-on tidy-up patches to clean up. -Tony From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Luck, Tony" Date: Thu, 07 Oct 2004 17:06:14 +0000 Subject: RE: [PATCH] 2.6 SGI Altix I/O code reorganization Message-Id: List-Id: References: <200410042157.i94Lv7UC104750@fsgi900.americas.sgi.com> In-Reply-To: <200410042157.i94Lv7UC104750@fsgi900.americas.sgi.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Jesse Barnes , Patrick Gefre Cc: Grant Grundler , Colin Ngam , Matthew Wilcox , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org >Yeah, sorry, I shouldn't have said cleanup, fixup is better. >Anyway, they >need to be separate since they'll be going into the tree via >Andrew not Tony.
